Verse:
G
I had some words with her old man
Em
When I asked him for her hand
C D
Cause eye to eye, you know, we never could see
G
Now we're off and we're on our own
Em
As we head in to the danger zone
C D
To find a little pink house for her and me
G
We did it for love
Em
We did it for satisfaction
G
It was the rage of the age
Em
And the hour of the main attraction
C D
We finally said, enough is enough
C D
We played it by ear, it came from the heart
G Em C D
We did it for love
Now Mary Beth is doin' all she can
She had her child without her man
She never cared to hear what the town folk would say
They tried to talk her out of keepin' that boy
But in this world she's found no greater joy
Now she's a proud mama
Watchin' the little man play
Chorus (She did it?)
My brother fought in the Vietnam war
He left his job and his family chores
I never understood when he said he couldn't let it be
Now it's been twenty years or so
He still talks about how regular joes were somethin' man
Defendin' the land of the free
Chorus (They did it..)
Chorus (We did it?)
